摘要

A novel binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu-2(mal)(2)(phen)(2)] . 4H(2)O . 2MeOH (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, mal = maleate dianion), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, solid-state ESR analysis and X-ray single crystal study. The complex consists of [Cu(mal)(phen)] subunits with two water and one methanol solvate molecules. The subunits show a distorted planar arrangement, existing in centrosymmetrically related pairs in the crystal packing. They have a distorted four-coordinate square-planar arrangement of N and O atoms about the central Cu atom; pairs of these [Cu(mal)(phen)] subunits form dimers by interaction of the fifth position on each Cu center with an O atom of a maleate ligand of the associated subunit with a Cu-Cu distance of 3.3425(9) Angstrom. The coordination around each Cu atom is best described as distorted square-pyramidal. The lattice water and methanol molecules are also confirmed by the TG study and IR spectra. The X-band solid-state ESR spectrum at room temperature exhibits an anisotropic feature with g(parallel to) = 2.24, g(perpendicular to) = 2.06.
